Or so say some…iPhone

A senior executive for the Aussie telco Telstra says that Apple’s iPhone is pretty much doomed.

Operations chief Greg Winn said that Apple was not a mobile phone manufacturer and should have “stuck to its knitting”.

and…

“You can pretty much be assured that Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and ZTE and others will be coming out with devices that have similar functionality.”

He also went on to say that he didn’t think the touch screen revolutionised the device, that the Cingular network would not help a global roll out, and the non-replaceable battery would also be a “sticking point”.

He did admit that he was absolutely sure it would be an initial success but still this is pretty damning.
